Seaside dominates Watsonville, 59-7

The Wildcats of Watsonville looked to throw a wrench into Seaside plans of a perfect season on friday night, but would come up well short as the team fell to the Spartans 59-7.

On Watsonville's first possession of the game they would march down the field into Seaside territory. Faced with two, fourth downs on the drive, the Wildcats would convert on both. The latter resulted in a 23-yard touchdown pass for quarterback Eddie Mares as he hooked up with receiver Isaac Lopez.

That would be the only lead of the game for the Wildcats, as Seaside would score on every possession in the first half.

For Seaside, quarterback Michael Turner was held out with an injury and the spotlight fell on, last years starting quarterback, Joseph Jakubowsky.

The experienced, Jakubowski, made the most of his opportunity, accounting for five touchdowns on the night. Four coming through the air and one on a 40 yard rush late in the first quarter. The run was set up, after the Seaside defense forced a safety and gave the offense excellent field position. On the first snap, after the safety Jakubowski took off up the middle and cruised in for the score.

As the score would indicate, Seaside was absolutely dominant on friday night and they look ready to make a strong push in the Central Coast Section playoffs.

In the first half alone, Jakubowski threw four touchdown passes, to four different players. One of Jakubowski's scoring strikes would go to Jelhany Garnett, late in the first half for 35 yards, Garnett wasn't done with the end zone friday.

On the opening kickoff of the second half Garnett would scoot 87 yards into the end zone giving the Spartans a 50-7 lead.

Seaside would nab another safety, in the second half and cap the night with a 56 touchdown run by Deveraux Evans.
